Genoa, Alberto Gilardino not shaken after success with Roma

The words of Alberto Gilardino in the press conference ahead of the match against Udinese

On the eve of the match against Udinese that is valid for the seventh day of Serie A, Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino wanted to send a clear message to the team after the convincing success in the previous round against Roma.

"I am happy with the performance against Roma, but I am also happy with the other matches. We had little time to rejoice but the key thing è to take with us all the good things we did the other night from the point of view of attitude, perseverance and confidence that we passed on to each other. That has to be our prerogative for tomorrow, we know we meet a physical team that will come at us hard. For them it will be a crucial match, but we have to think only about defending in the right way and propose good football" began the Rossobl&ugrave technician;.

"From the victory with Roma we have to take positive energy with us. It's normal that since we play after two days, we need a quick recovery of mental and physical strength. We will face a company that is facing a difficult time and is in a ranking position that does not reflect their real characteristics. We are aware of this but we know that we will have to try to attack the match from the start" continued the Grifone coach.

In conclusion Alberto Gilardino wanted to send a message of encouragement to Ruslan Malinovskyi: "He's a growing player. When he è arrived I wanted to play him right away and at that time maybe he was not in top condition. In the last few outings he has played less, but that doesn&#39t take away from the esteem I have for him. He's an important player who, when he gets on the field, will have to make a difference and we all expect a lot from him".
